I had the same issue and reported a private bug to MySQL.  The public
version of the bug is:  http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=15204

You should try upgrading to 5.0.18 and see if that helps.  It fixed it
for me.  Also, I've learned that it's good practice to always dump,
upgrade, and import instead of just upgrading the binaries with
existing databases.
